changed shift pattern on 6spds
Was looking at an 05 today for purchase and noticed that the reverse was moved to the bottom left and their was an L where first would like the old 4 spds with the low. the truck had a 3:73 rear. service said they changed it but really didn't know why. just curious about it

Good reply's guys, I don't thing my 6sd T/A would benefit but I'd take one for my truck. I'll take one G56, a set of twins and and a half dozen lift pumps to go please, and keep the change.

Just watch that you don't shift G56 into reverse instead of 2nd when launching. The guy behind you might not like your exhaust pipe pointing at this windshield.
I guess with the NV you also have to watch out that you don't shift into reverse when trying to grab 5th. I haven't ever done it but I guess anythings possible.

i just took delivery of my truck thursday, and it has the new setup. it would be really tough to shift into reverse at a light, since it takes some effort to get it into reverse. just my .02.

No different than the old 6 gears 4th to 5th throw. It ain't goin' into reverse while rollin' unless you jam it in there. Besides who starts out in 1st anyway unless loaded. They should have put it left of 1st like the Fords.
